沖縄成為最受歡迎旅遊點

Recently the Yomiuri News on-line reported the following:

観光庁がまとめた「国内旅行の満足度調査」によると、沖縄を訪れて「大変満足」と感じた人の割合が２９・５％と、地域別で最も多かった。

　次いで関東の２１・５％、近畿が２１・３％、北海道の２０・２％が続いた。逆に、四国は１０・５％と「大変満足」の割合が最も低かった。

　一方、「１年以内に再来訪したい」との項目では、沖縄は「そうは思わない」と考える人の割合が２７・７％で最も高かった。観光庁は「沖縄は旅行先として魅力は大きいが、遠距離や高い費用が『行きやすさ』の障害になっている」と分析している。

　調査は昨年７月までに、無作為に選んだ全国の２万５０００人を対象に、「過去６か月に行った旅行」に関して実施し、このほど結果をまとめた。

According to the "Investigation on the degree-of-satisfaction in domestic tour" summarized by the Japan Tourism Agency, among the people who had visited Okinawa 29.5% thought that "it is very satisfying"; and by area it had the highest percentage

Following that, it was Kanto at 21.5%, continued by Kinki at 21.3% and Hokkaido at 20.2%. On the contrary, for Shikoku the rate for receiving "very satisfying" was 10.5%, being the lowest.

On the other hand, with regard to Okinawa, the percentage on the suggestion of "would like to re-visit it within one year”, the people who picked "Does not think so" was 27.7%, being the highest. The analysis of the Japan Tourism Agency was that "Although the charm of Okinawa was high as a traveling destination, the long distance and the high expense have hindered "the easiness in going"."

By July last year, 25,000 people of the whole country were selected at random to carry out the investigation about "Traveling in the past six months", and the result was summarized recently.

Okinawa is warm even during the winter season, probably it is one of the reasons that domestic tourists are attracted.
